Revolution Software will be releasing Episode One of Broken Sword 5 on PC, Mac and Linux on December 4, 2013, followed by PS Vita later that month. The concluding episode will arrive on PC in January, with iOS and Android versions following each PC episode.

Charles Cecil, Founder and CEO of Revolution Software: "Whilst this is very much a classic Broken Sword game in terms of production values and sense of adventure, we’re really breaking new ground with The Serpent’s Curse. The success of our Kickstarter appeal has allowed us to be hugely ambitious – each episode is a full sized game in its own right. So we will be publishing two action-packed adventures in close succession. The response to those that have seen the game so far has been hugely positive – some suggesting that this is the best Broken Sword yet.”

Broken Sword 5 will have George Stobbard and Nico Collard investigating a murderous conspiracy in war-torn Europe that has roots in mysteries older than the written word. Can they outwit evil forces and save mankind from a Curse forged by the Devil himself?
